I keep gettin a error when trying to export from gmax to w3d.

Review log:
Saving Hieracrhy Tree COMP
Node Count: 1
Nodes:
ROOTTRANSFORM

Then I get the error The program will now be terminated and stuff. Anyway I can fix this. Or is there anyway I can avoid this from happening. My maps poly count is about 15000. I also wanted to know whats trhe limit on the poly count for maps. Just so I dont make a uber fps eater Very Happy

Export as Renegade Terrain, not any other type of model.

I Tried that but what I think I made alot of crates and such in gmax. Should I convert them to w3d and add them in level edit? Could that cause the problem.

it shouldnt be a problem, the only thing that could mess it up is:

crates being the same name.
crates being name longer than 16 characters.

if the names are longer than 16 characters it can screw up like this:

Crateupperdeckarea
Crateupperdeckarea2

renx will cut off the names at 16, so now both of your crates are now named:

Crateupperdeckar


Common knowledge, but it might help.

15000 polys, depending on your computer speed (RAM) will determine how long it takes. The program may say it isn't Responding and is locked up, but it is just thinking as hard as it can.

nope, im not sure if there is a limit, ive seen models of terrain around 80,000 polys. He just ment its taking alot of your computers resources to complete the export, and RenX will become none responcive while its doing large exports.

Ive pin pointed it down to something. Something in my map is cause it to not export. I know this because I deleted everythign except my most valuable peice in my map and tried to export and it worked. Any ideas on what this mysterious object(s) might be? Confused

hit "h" in any window, see if any obejects are named the same, and also hit unhide all by right clicking the window, and selecting that option.

other than that you might want to have someone look at it.

Make sure you textures have all the same number of passes on that you applied to that piece of mesh...

ok what i think you needed to do was just to Assign Node Names.

This would just make it so every object in your map has a seperate name, given for everything.

Scrole to the Hammer on the right of Gmax. Scroll down...

Pic located here to show you. Very simple that should help you..

(best to not have anything grouped when you do it)

Right now the node name for everything is RA_compound. So i should change that so that every object has its own root name?

its fixed, just for public reference, it was a box that had a duplicated name, and a corrupt mesh.

when i exported, RenX prompted "Cannot Proccess Mesh: (name), it maybe corrupt."

Simple as that, so i deleted it out of my copy, and it went to it, no problems. You'd just have to replace that mesh.
